I have nothing except good things to say about my RipShift. There has been numerous threads created re: Ripshift... Have a look in GM Motorsports Sponsor forum

Two thumbs up! This is seriously a ZERO BS product. Do it. I still can't thank Phonsy enough to putting my 3rd shifting issue behind me...

The standard shifter is likened to a broomstick in a bucket of nuts and bolts in comparison to a Rip Shifter.

Ahso, B-san. I think a desk calendar is in your future, "Daily LS1 Thoughts"... Hmmm... Business opportunity... Could you imagine the nuggets we'd get from on here... Over to the bar I go...

The broomstick in a bucket of bolts analogy just sold me :)

No sarcasm there... Roarz's review link below should convince anyone still undecided. Sounds like a winner.

I'm seriously considering it.....the 2nd to 3rd shift really bothers me, and after trying one a while back it completely resolved this for me during the test. Fantastic.

Just gotta get off my arse and do it...... :lol:

Just call either GM Motorsports directly (forum sponsor) or your local tuner. I believe Phonsy has set up distribution through most of the well know LS1 workshops.

I'd think any competent mechanic workshop should be able to fit a ripshift.
When you get it installed, there's a few fellow members (in Canberra) wanting to ...
... cough, eeehhmmm... cop a feel :lol:

I kinda meant do they sell them... as I want to, erm, also cop a feel. :p I'd probably have a go at fitting it myself.
